CHEVAL DE FRISE S/t
Description
Double 140g Black LP running at 45RPM with one etched side - No aluminium sleeve.
Named after a defensive structure, Cheval de frise is the duo formed by Thomas Bonvalet and Vincent Beysselance in Bordeaux in 1998. Combining amplified classical guitar and drums, they developed an anxious, intricate and constantly shifting sound, drawing on the American post-hardcore scene of the 1990s while forging a singular musical identity.
Urgent, emotional and meticulously structured, their music is defined by feverish rhythms, explosive dynamics and ever-changing, almost baroque patterns. Their intense live performances quickly made them stand out in the French underground scene.
Recorded in June 2000 and released on CD by Sonore, their debut album received enthusiastic acclaim and led to extensive European touring.
While often associated with the emerging math-rock movement, Cheval de frise remained unmistakably unique, blending complexity and raw energy with a distinctive, almost anachronistic romanticism.
This marks the album's first-ever vinyl release.
